As soon as this statement was made, Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, immediately became the focus of all his attention.

Even the Ministry of Revenue has nothing to do with it. What can the Ministry of Rites do?

It seemed that he felt that what he said was a bit inappropriate, and he suddenly looked uneasy.

"Zheng Aiqing, but it's okay!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Is the court meeting just a brainstorm!"

"I have a way!" Zheng Yi said hesitantly, "Donate!"

"Hmm?" Zhu Yunxiu was unhappy, but he still smiled, "How to donate?"

"When I was an official in the local area, whenever there was something unbearable in the local area, the government would organize the gentry to contribute money and efforts." Zheng Yi said, "This way, it would save you... Now that the war in Yunnan and Myanmar is imminent, the court has temporary difficulties. I believe that the gentry in the world must actively accept donations. The court can commend..."

"Stop!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly shouted.

Zheng Yi immediately lowered his head, afraid to speak again.

"Where has the Ming Dynasty reached?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at him and said loudly, "Oh, the memorials all day long are the peace and prosperity of the country, and the country's strength is growing day by day. If there is something wrong with the court, do you ask the gentry to donate money, how are you embarrassed?"

"You are embarrassed to say that I am embarrassed to listen? I am shameless!" Zhu Yunsheng sneered, "It is not enough for the people in the world to pay food and taxes?"

"I didn't mean that..."

"That's what you mean!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at him and said, "When there were disasters in the local area before? Haha! I don't know the local area's tricks? The court has to raise the relief funds themselves. Has the money been handed to the victims? Where did they go in the end?"

"You are still the Minister of the House, can you say this?" Zhu Yunxi continued to say hatefully, "Aren't you afraid of laughter?"

Then, he thought to himself, "This Zheng Yi is going to be replaced, now he is confused!"

Zhang Jue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also frowned, "This is a two-part matter that cannot be confused. However, the local government organized large gentry members to donate generously, but the government all promised benefits, otherwise they would be rude. The court used troops to speak with the gentry, which was too inappropriate. If you are not careful at that time, for example, who can explain it clearly?"

"Actually, what Lord Zheng said is, I am..." Sitting in the penultimate row behind, Zhang Sizhong, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, spoke. He is very powerful and can be regarded as a senior official. He will be promoted to the sixth ministries.

"Do you agree?" Zhu Yunxiu asked.

"I am not agreeing, but thinking of something else!" Zhang Sizhong said, "There are some difficulties in the Ministry of Revenue's treasury near the end of the year, and we must keep money for the future of the coming year. As for the old foundation of the treasury, it cannot be moved!"

The treasury of the Ming Dynasty was actually not without money. There were tens of millions of dollars, but it could not be moved.

"The donation that the court was not desirable when the matter of Shangshu Zheng said was not advisable, but I thought I could borrow money!" Zhang Sizhong said, "It was established in the early days of the Yuan Dynasty. It was borrowed from the private sector to repay interest upon maturity..."

"This hole cannot be opened!" Zhu Yunxiu said seriously.

He knew that national debt was a good thing, but in this era... the official is the god. Who can do it if you don't admit it if you eat it all and don't admit it?

"Remember my words, no matter when the sky falls, this method cannot be used!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers and continued, "Since ancient times, wealth is touching, and money is too easy to come by, officials will inevitably make trouble. In the end, not only will they lose their original intentions, but they will also lose all their faces."

"It doesn't matter if the court loses its face, the most important thing is to lose the hearts of the people! People will not stand without trust, let alone the Ming Dynasty. What's really embarrassing about it? Do you take out money from your pocket to block the hole?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid I'll be faster than anyone else at that time, and I'll pick it cleaner than anyone else!"

Zhang Sizhong couldn't sit still and immediately stood up and said, "I have made a mistake, please punish me!"

"There is no need to punish me!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a sip of tea, "But I have something to warn you, don't use such a cleverness again in the future."

"I obey the order!" Zhang Sizhong was sweating profusely.

"I thought the national treasury was abundant now, but now it seems that there are still too many places to use money. It's not okay to be careful when you are not careful!" Zhu Yunxi sighed halfway, "Well, Mu Chun said that he would like two million to raise some of the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhang Feng immediately said, "The money that the Ministry of Revenue can move is only 800,000." As he said, he looked at Zhu Yunsheng and continued, "No matter how much more the minister is, the emperor will not be able to take out the crime. If the emperor blames the crime, he can only let the minister move the matter!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Okay, you don't have to complain to me!" As he said, thinking, "My inner treasury can probably take out about 700,000..."

Zhang Feng and others hurriedly said, "No!"

"Nothing is impossible! My money is also the money of the country!"

Most of the money in Zhu Yun's inner treasury is the severance of Lianghuai salt water, and part of the customs tariff. This money is said to be his inner treasury, but most of it is used for military expenses.

"I said I wanted to fight, but it doesn't matter. I, the emperor, don't give up a penny." Zhu Yunxiu said, thinking for a while, "I have taken all the money, my uncles...?"

Suddenly, the ministers' eyes lit up.

Yes, were all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty so rich?

Over the years, the court has raised them and given them this and that. They belong to the bitch... Those who belong to Pixiu only enter and not leave. Moreover, recently the case of King Zhou was revealed. Is King Zhou like this? Are other people's butts clean?

From the King of Zhou, we know that the wealth of the vassal kings can rival the country.

"But what I said is a bit inappropriate!" As he said that, Zhu Yunyu picked up the teacup and blocked his face.

"I'm here to submit a memorial!" said Xin Yande, who had just been promoted to the Ministry of Education, said, "I won't name it anymore. I will use the recent case of King Zhou to talk about the matter. If the vassal kings have some concerns, they will definitely serve the court!"

"This young man!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled bitterly in his heart, "What I mean by saying this is, let's study in private how to open this speech! You are fine, just make it clear in front of everyone!"

When the vassal kings paid the money, the nobles would be embarrassed to be iron roosters?

In this way, the military expenditure problem will be solved.

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxiu coughed deliberately.

But Xin Yande continued as if he hadn't heard it, "I have another opinion. The case of King Zhou that was recently tried involves huge amounts of money. I think the confiscated property does not need to be confiscated, and it is sold on the spot and directly converted into silver, money, etc., to serve as military supplies!"

"I'm asking!" Zhang Jue said.

"Yeah, the report is correct!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "I also have an idea in my mind."

Then knocked on the table, "If today is more peaceful, corruption will be born in the prosperous era. In the future, there will be corruption cases, and the money involved will be filled into the treasury and specially classified. It will be used for disaster relief, relief of the widows, and building bridges and paving roads in the future!"

"The emperor is wise!"

~~

The dynasty would disperse and the ministers would retreat, but someone was left to speak by Zhu Yunxiu.

Ling Han, the old minister of the Minister of Personnel.

"Ling Aiqing was at the court meeting just now, why didn't he say a word?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

"The economy is not the director of the old minister!" Old man Ling Han sat with his back slightly bent, looking a little unsatisfied. "If you say the wrong thing, the old minister's face..."

"Well, you are better than some people. You are obviously not financially dependent on the economy and have to make a laugh. Ha, he is not just his face, I am so embarrassed!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

Ling Han suddenly complained in his heart and thought to himself, "Young Master is getting more and more confused!"

He is not vague in terms of right and wrong, and he is not vague in terms of virtue if the king is indestructible. However, he has never offended many of his colleagues in recent years.

Offending the emperor does not necessarily mean death. Offending his colleagues is worse than death.

"How about your personal relationship with Zheng Yi?" Zhu Yunhuang opened the skylight and said in a daze.

"A common friendship!" Ling Han said, "He was born in the Hanlin period, and his old minister was a Jinshi in the previous dynasty."

That's something that's wrong!

Zhu Yunxiu pretended not to understand, "He is old, and I'm so careless about seeing him being in poor spirits. Please turn around and persuade him!"

"I advise you to tell him that he will resign and retire and make room for others!" Ling Han cursed in his heart.

Zhu Yunxiu said again, "Come here, the old Shangshu sat down with me and told me all morning to reward the carriage and leave the palace. That... the Shandong tributed some big persimmons from the north. The old Shangshu was also a native of the north. Take it back and try it out!"
